As the administrator of an all Mac network (which I love), I use Apple Remote Desktop when I'm on my Powerbook, but when I have to use a PC, I use TightVNC. It has been the most stable and easiest to use when connecting to the ARDAgent on a Mac.
As someone who worked at Laser Quest for 3 years and has been a member there for 6 years, I feel the need to defend LQ. Did you guys play anything other than the standard Solo missions? That's what they play with the general public except at Lock-ins (all night events). Anyway, Solo missions are admittedly boring because it's just all about who can get the most points. There are some more challenging team games such as Chess which have complex team structures with different positions who have different numbers of lives/shots. When there's a team goal and it's not unlimited lives, things get interesting.
If you read the FAQ on the site, it's not a one-use unit. And it's only supposed to cost between 50 to 100 bucks, which seems like a fair price for something that could save your finger.
From the site: Is the motor or arbor of the saw damaged when the SawStop system is triggered?
No. The SawStop system cuts power to the motor when the system is triggered. When the SawStop system is triggered and the brake strikes the moving saw blade, the saw's arbor assembly disconnects from the worm gear upon which it rides and is caught by a pad inside the saw's housing. The arbor assembly snaps back into place after being lifted from the pad.
Actually, you're both right. He wrote the OZZY quote on the blackboard, but he quotes Corinthians in Dade's bedroom when he and Burn come over to convince him to make a copy of the disc with the worm on it. Oh yeah, it may be a terrible movie, but deep down, I still love it. (Maybe it's because Angelina Jolie is a young goddess in it)
They're after the college students again...

RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I work at the my school's computer help desk and just yesterday we got a phone call asking us to shutdown a certain IP address because the user was found to be in violation of copyright law. I have a feeling this is linked to this RIAA lawsuit business.
When I was in high school, this incredibly feeble-minded girl in my class got a combined scored of 600. I have yet to hear of someone whose combined score was lower than that and was honestly trying. I mean, one half of mine beat hers.
Haven't we discussed this before?

I was all hyped to stay up for the show last night, but I was also trying to write an 8 page research paper that's due on Tuesday. At about 4:30AM EST, I collapsed on my desk from exhaustion and my friends didn't wake me up until after they came back in... damn work...
If you're looking for an OS that is great for desktop use, is incredibly fast, and is really easy to get used to, and has support for NVidia cards, then you want to use BeOS. I've been using BeOS for a while and although it's not as popular as Linux or BSD, its following is pretty devout. I rarely have any problems with BeOS crashing, and on my Pentium II 266 w/ 64 megs RAM it boots in about 10 seconds. BeOS is also almost completely POSIX compliant, so you can compile most linux apps under it with relative ease. And if you don't feel like doing that, BeBits has all the drivers and software you could ever need that's not included in the distribution. If you're looking for a satisfying desktop experience, then BeOS is the way to go.
Theft doesn't usually happen that way at stores that sell computer software anyway, it's too obvious. Most thieves just open the boxes and take out the CD, shove it down their pants, and walk out. The bigger boxes actually make that easier, because they have bigger flaps so the stuff can be taken out faster once opened.
I work at Best Buy in the Media Department (Which includes software, CDs, and movies). I must say those boxes for Streets and Trips 2001 are a pain in the ass. In addition to being environmentally unfriendly, you should try fitting the 30 we get in a shipment on the shelves... damn Microsoft. Comparatively, their boxes are a lot bigger than the rest of the map programs we offer, which is probably the main reason they outsell everything else. It just goes to show how gullible consumers are. They think big box = awesome product. When really a big box just fills the landfills faster. Well, I'll stop my ranting... I just got home from work which is probably why I'm so annoyed by those bastards...

I remembered reading arguments about this a few months ago, apparentally I was right.
